# Switch To A Recent Branch With FZF
|
|
|
|
[Git](https://git-scm.com/) and [FZF](https://github.com/junegunn/fzf) make
|
|
a powerful team. Once you've installed FZF on your machine, there are all
|
|
kinds of add-on scripts that you can include in your shell configuration.
|
|
|
|
This one, for instance, is a personal favorite.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
fbr() {
|
|
local branches branch
|
|
branches=$(git for-each-ref --count=30 --sort=-committerdate refs/heads/ --format="%(refname:short)") &&
|
|
branch=$(echo "$branches" |
|
|
fzf-tmux -d $(( 2 + $(wc -l <<< "$branches") )) +m) &&
|
|
git checkout $(echo "$branch" | sed "s/.* //" | sed "s#remotes/[^/]*/##")
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
When you run the `fbr` command from your shell, FZF will compile a list of
|
|
the most recently committed to branches (including remote branches). That
|
|
list will then be available in a standard FZF prompt so that you can choose
|
|
the branch you want to switch to.
